Lyrics
Went back to the table in that New York bar
Returning to the place where the singer first met the person
The one where I met you and gave you my heart
Recalling the moment of giving their heart to that person
I thought I felt something but i was wrong, cuz all I felt was numb when your love was gone ...
Initially thinking there was a connection, but feeling emotionally numb after losing the person's love
You were gone
Emphasizing the absence of the person
I hate love
Expressing a strong dislike for love
I hate love
Reiteration of the dislike for love
Love is not my cup of tea
Stating that love is not enjoyable or suitable for them
I hate love cuz love hates me
Feeling that love is against them, leading to a dislike of it
A stranger sent over a mercy drink
Receiving a drink from an unknown person out of sympathy
The bartender said it's what a broken heart needs to heal
Believing that a broken heart needs such gestures to heal
My cup was full up to the brim, but the leak at the bottom let the emptiness in ...
Feeling emotionally full, but the emptiness caused by the loss leaks in
It got in
Confirming the emotional emptiness entering despite feeling full
I hate love
Strongly disliking love
I hate love
Repeating the strong dislike for love
Love is not my cup of tea
Reaffirming that love is not compatible or enjoyable for them
I hate love cuz love hates me
Attributing their dislike of love to feeling rejected by it
Baby, why'd you go and leave?
Questioning why the person left and reflecting on their own actions
What did I do to you -- oooooh?
Expressing confusion and seeking reasons for the departure
I hate love
Reiterating a strong aversion towards love
I hate love
Repeating the intense dislike for love
Love is not my cup of tea
Stating that love is not suitable or enjoyable for them
I hate love cuz love hates me
Attributing their dislike of love to feeling rejected by it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition emphasizing the strong emotions against love
I hate love but I confess that I'd hate love a little less if love... would love me
Expressing a willingness to dislike love less if it reciprocated
